Hi,

I tried a network installation of current openSUSE build (hosted on
oss.sgi.com) on my hp workstation zx6000 but the installation process
crashes just after downloading the root image. Here are the logs that I
captured with a camera since this display is quickly replaced by a big
red square telling me that the installation process failed:

starting hald... ok
starting syslogd (logging to /dev/tty4)... ok
Starting ia32el
starting yast...
line 10: 2388 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) /usr/sbin/hwinfo
--special=x11
Probing connected terminal...

Initializing virtual console...

Unfortunately, once the red square replaces this screen, the keyboard is
disabled, so I'm not able to swith to console tty4 to see the logs.
I've performed several attempts. No luck. Using the safe settings or a
textmode install didn't help. IIRC, the last working root image was
dated around Aug. 15th.

Is this problem also noticed on other architectures? If not, what can I
try to help debug the installation process on Itanium?

Thanks,

	Émeric
